ASIO Standalone Wrapper

This project addresses an inconvenience with the libasio-dev system package or standalone header-only installation from the asio github where pkg-config (*.pc) nor cmake find (*.cmake) are created rendering CMake PkgConfig and find_package unusable. We provide a CMake file that you can use to:

• Patch your existing libasio-dev inststance to work with find_package
• Install a specific version of asio (pass ASIO_TAG with the desired version)
  • If you need to maintain boost version parity, check here to find your appropriate version
• If boost is found, leave system untouched

Docker

A set of dockerfiles that were used to test the different base sytem configuration scenarios is provided. The build commands are:

docker build -t asio:boost -f boostasio.Dockerfile .
docker build -t asio:src -f src.Dockerfile .
docker build -t asio:libasio -f libasio.Dockerfile .

To evaluate the different scenarios, you can simply mount the asio_wrapper directory into a container and run cmake .., make, and make install from a build directory.
